I think I liked this second book even more than the first one because Gordo’s voice spoke to me more than Ox’s did.
I loved getting to see Mark and Gordo navigating their feelings as kids, I was so glad to read Gordo’s perspective on what happened when the wolves were on the road in the first book, but most of all, I adored the banter and the bickering. I can’t even count the number of times this book made me laugh. Group dynamics like this one is my favorite thing ever to read about and I was worried there would less of that in the second book, but this felt like seeing a group of friends I had dearly missed. I really liked that the story was more than just Gordo and Mark’s story.

If the book made me laugh, it also thoroughly broke my heart several times, but I’ll forgive it because the angst was beautifully done. I would die for these characters.

I will say that I read that second book right after the first one, and the writing style felt a bit repetitive sometimes, so I did not read the third one right away, thinking that it would tire me a little bit, but diving back into the part I highlighted to write this review made me want to get back into this series.

Thank you to NetGalley and Pan Macmillan for inviting me to read Ravensong.

TJ Klune is one of my favourite authors, and Green Creek is my favourite of the series he’s written. I was really touched to be invited to read and review Ravensong after reviewing Wolfsong.
I really enjoy supernatural storylines and this series is made even better because not only does it include magic and ace spec representation, but it also contains disability representation (limb difference).

The story is engaging and exciting and the characters are extremely likeable and easy to root for. Gordo and Mark are some of the oldest characters in the series and I really enjoyed reading their story and the ups and downs that led them to where they are right now.

I would really recommend this series, although be aware that this series contains mature themes, death, grief, violence, gore and references to past child torture.
